@Cartidise The answer lies in the implementation. The tab bar in Find My isnt a tab bar, It is made to look like one to support the sliding up sheet. The App Store is very likely not a fully native app

Why do we have 3 different types of tab bars in iOS 26? I thought Apple was all about consistency > Find My: fixed > App Store: floating with integrated search bar > Apple Music: floating with a separate search bar It’s a mess

@karrisaarinen @johnloeber As opposed to other passengers flying for free?

@johnloeber SAN was 30mins with Clear, and JFK was 40 mins with Clear. (Normally SAN is like 2mins with precheck or clear) JFK terminal 4 was pretty bad, and I think it would have been hours without clear or precheck. Mysteriously capitalism wins when it comes to providing a service.

everyone’s been freaking out about TSA wait times everywhere. Me too, until I remembered that SFO wisely chose to privatize its TSA rather than use the public system. Through security in 90 seconds…

@imkylelambert I was there when it was happening 👴

if you know, you know

@InsiderGeo Wtf are you ok about? In ANY setting, in any country, in any culture, what he said is inappropriate

People often don’t realize that you can’t talk to Asians the same way you talk to Europeans or Westerners. There’s a cultural expectation that historical context, respect, and subtlety are treated differently what might seem casual or humorous in the West is deeply offensive in Japan, In Japan, context, respect, and subtlety guide almost every interaction. Unlike in many Western countries, where directness is valued, Japanese communication often relies on reading between the lines.

@TheAnfieldBuzz he's literally washed

Poor penalty from Mo Salah 🙄

Designers are the most underrated hire in tech. Not talking about someone who makes things pretty. talking about someone who holds the whole product in their head. the look, the feel, the strategy, what it needs to become 2 years from now. When building was hard, engineers owned the status hierarchy. made sense. Building is no longer hard. The variance in outcomes shifted almost entirely to judgment. What to build, how to sequence it, how to talk about it. Designers have always trained for that judgment. The rarest versions are the ones shipping products faster than most eng-heavy teams. The variance in outcomes has almost entirely shifted to: what do we build, in what order, and why does it matter. The story is clear from the beginning. You can't retrofit narrative onto a product. Designers know this better than anyone. Before you say "designers have always been valuable"... Yes. But now they *might* be the most important person in the room. Their value compounds like never before. Most founders/companies just haven't caught up yet.

there's such an irony in tech hiring in that the best engineers to hire are the ones who don't actually need to interview and yet most companies design intricate interview processes to "hire the best talent" when in reality most processes: 1. can be gamed 2. evaluate a proxy for abilty as opposed to true ability i'd argue that the best people to hire, from a technical perspective, are the people who you can cold extend an offer to immediately after a technical conversation. any engineer worth their value will be able to explain complicated topics simply and recount meaningful contributions in a way that plainly displays their expertise if you can't decide whether or not to hire someone after the conversion i believe one of the two following points must be true: 1. the person is not technical enough and should not be hired 2. you are not technical enough to be hiring your engineers

@karrisaarinen @dwtks11 @linear I don’t want to sound mean but there are many elements in the app that are just wrong. Tabs that look identical to buttons, buttons that look like chips. Etc. the only reason this app refresh looks like that “today” that is following the new design language out of Cupertino

The goal was actually to kind of improve the structure or shape of the app. 1. We have this challenge of having quite many entity types and views. Linear is not just based on a page/spreadsheet/chat format, but is instead more specialized tooling for different things. Sometimes there are different places where you might be looking at these things, like Inbox, for example. 2. We also have quite many icons, both for content and actions. The goal was to kind of differentiate what is what. One way apps do that is by adding borders, so you have one bar for one set of tools, and another bar under it for another set. It works fine, but visually I find it suffocating at times. The reason why those round buttons (view controls) are like that is that, in my mind, they are kind of floating on top of the view layer. The background and shape makes them distinct from other icons on the page. In some ways the view action should be the place we place all of our most relevant controls. There is overall this feeling I am trying to chase where the app surfaces could feel less rigid and boxed in, and let the content be free. Never liked the material UI either because it was forced design style without consideration of use of it.

Little big update on the @linear UI. It started as a design exploration in Figma, then became a two-person effort to build prototypes and tools with agents. From there, we went back into Figma, more code, and eventually released it internally behind a feature flag that we can turn on and off in the product.

@jack @metapreston I did literally the same thing lol

@metapreston nah i stopped using my instagram account after fb bought it, and then deleted the whole thing

On September 4th, 2010, @jack posted an Instagram photo for the first time. Exactly one month and two days before the app launched. He has since deleted the post.

No hate to my blue check friends but I wish you could hide blue check replies, permanently. I’m soooo tired of clicking a tweet and every reply shown is some chat gpt created reply that adds nothing to the conversation

@GenAI_is_real No. Please stop. The Touch Bar failed because it isn’t an honest design. Placing a screen that requires you to look at to operate, right next to a mechanical that you operate without looking at isn’t honest. It didn’t and will never work.

the touch bar failed because apple was 10 years too early. contextual adaptive UI on hardware only makes sense when the software is smart enough to predict what you need. in 2017 we didnt have that. now with on-device AI models that actually understand user intent, a dynamic touch interface would be insane. give it 2 years and every laptop will have some version of this and people will act like its a brand new idea @nalinrajput23

@KobeissiLetter Everyone knows what you are doing.

BREAKING: The price of European jet fuel is now up over +70% this week to the highest level since June 2022, per FT. 40% of Europe's jet fuel comes through the Strait of Hormuz. This is simply becoming unsustainable.

@SnazzyLabs None of these videos are made by Apple.

All of these product videos from Apple this week have continued to prove that their marketing team is best in class. Absolutely exceptional.

@dmcgco Can you post these photos without filters so we can see how this installation “really” looks like?

The incredible audio installation at the Yoyaku record store in Paris, designed by H.A.N.D.

normal people: i like hanging out with my friends startup people: bullish on irl communities in the ai era

@VadimStrizheus Please stop.

this is what a company looks like in 2026. not people. not offices. not salaries. a folder. .claude/agents/ engineering/ marketing/ design/ ops/ testing/ every role. every department. every function. all .md files. i have 12 of these running in OpenClaw right now. the org chart is dead. the directory is the new company.

@euronationalizt That’s a lot of filters you have there

Another month paying 30% in taxes and still no missiles overhead

My time on X.​com has given me the impression that a large faction of the tech elite are absolute f*cking morons who circle jerked themselves into thinking they possess deep wisdom

@KobeissiLetter You are panicking aren’t you

Retail investors are buying Nvidia at a record pace: Individual investors bought ~$360 million of Nvidia, $NVDA, shares in the first 80 minutes of Thursday’s trading session, the most for any session opening on record. By comparison, the daily average over the prior 5 trading sessions was ~$94 million. This comes after Nvidia crushed its Q4 earnings expectations and issued strong guidance for Q1. Nvidia has been a top stock for retail investors since 2023, according to Vanda Research data. Despite the strong results and retail buying, $NVDA stock ended the session -5.5% lower. Retail investors are still buying Nvidia.
